Le mastaba E17 et la nécropole de l'Ancien Empire /
:
This third volume in a series devoted to the excavations of the Louvre Museum in Saqqara studies the tombs of the Old Kingdom discovered under the direction of Christiane Ziegler. Around the mastaba of Akhethetep, now kept in the Louvre and published in volume I, unfolds a necropolis hitherto unknown with the exception of the small decorated chapel E17 excavated by Mariette. It is a series of stone and brick mastabas whose excavation has revealed the topography and the history of this northern zone of the Unas causeway at the time of the pyramids. The sector has delivered burials as well as numerous objects from the same period: fragments of bas-reliefs, stelae, offering tables, items of funerary furniture, ceramics. The scientific presentation of the results is accompanied by a series of multidisciplinary studies on geophysical prospecting, hieratic inscriptions and graffiti, human remains, ceramics, mud bricks and their modules, preventive conservation and restoration. The carbon 14 analysis carried out on the samples taken during the excavations provide details on the chronology of the Old Kingdom.

It examines the 356 hieroglyphic signs carved (and sometimes painted) found in the tomb. The palaeographical commentary defines the nature of each sign considering the other variants in the contemporary sources and details their different uses in the monument as well as in others. The book is illustrated by 108 plates based on the publication of the mastaba by the Oriental Institute of Chicago, presenting a selection of characteristic drawings of the various hieroglyphs identified" -- back cover.
